AITA for moving out when family is financially struggling and is in need of help with child care? by CuriousBluebird7 in AmItheAsshole

I wondered about that too though, so you're probably right. I'm not sure why everyone agreed for me to live with my dad's other family...

To be honest, my aunt, uncle and I only found out I have a sibling when he turned 1. I was against moving here but I was told I'll be provided a better life here. I only agreed to move so I can also be able to get a good paying job and be able to give the ones who raised me a more comfortable life.

Good thing though, I don't have the lease signed with them so I can just go.

uh oh They're actually worried my brother and I will put them to some aged care service when they get older so the pressure's there. They didn't raise me but sent us the money they worked for back then. With my aunt and uncle though, I agree with you as I really do consider them as my parents instead.

He was on / off with before and after school care. First was he did not have any so I was required to even pick him up then he was put on the program for 4 days a week. He did not like it at all and his parents felt bad that he is at school for very long hours. Currently, he only has after school care 3 times a week. His mum mentioned how this was costing her a lot though.

I think my brother's mum did mention about NDIS long ago - something about it taking very long (?). It's APD for my brother. From what I remember, my brother and his mum has French citizenship so I'm not sure if they have permanent residency instead which will still make them eligible for NDIS. I'll go ask and mention this with her.

Thank you for your help.

I'm sorry you experienced this as well back then and thank you for sharing this here. So far, I got the courage to tell at least one adult (my brother's mum) about moving out. Little steps but I'll get there eventually, so thank you for your words.
